Hardware and software requirements

For SS7-over-IP networks, Oracle Communications uses E5-ENET and E5-ENET-B cards to achieve IP connectivity, usign the IPLIMx, IPGWx, and IPSG applications.

The IPLIMx application implements the M2PA protocol, which is used mainly for B-, C-, and D-links. Once either of the cards is loaded with the IPLIMx application, the card is referred to as the IPLIMx card.

The IPGWx application implements the M3UA and SUA protocols, which are used for A-links. Once either of the cards is loaded with the IPGWx application, the card is referred to as the IPGWx card.

The IPSG application implements the M2PA and M3UA protocols, which are used for A-links (IPSG-M3UA) and B-, C-, and D-links (IPSG-M2PA) signaling links. Once the card is loaded with the IPSG application, it is referred to as an IPSG card.

The number of MSU/s supported by each card is dependent on various factors including MSU size, percentage of MSUs triggering the SCCP Class 1 sequencing feature, and the Integrated Monitoring feature.
